Rating:  

I know quite a few people with disagree with my rating, but I will stand by it. Since I had a poor experience with the burritos from Chipotle, I decided to try their bowls. Today I ordered their Steak bowl with brown rice, cheese, hot sauce, and lettuce. I have to admit that I like their presentation of their food line, but I would prefer more options. The ingredients looked and tasted fresh. However, the employee who was preparing the bowl was not pleasant, nor sounded nice. Pricing was about right, but a bit high. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very open and inviting as well.

In terms of taste, I did not like my bowl. The rice was OK, but without beans, my bowl looked puny. Half my bowl was lettuce. The steak was tasty, but were too chunky. The hot sauce was hot, to a level where I would expect it, but mixed all together, I could only rate the meal as edible.

Overall, I do not recommend Chipotle. The two star rating comes only from the ambiance and presentation of the food. Plus, it’s quite hard to find parking at this location during lunch. If you are in search of good Mexican food, go elsewhere like a Taqueria, Oscars, Jimboy’s, or even Taco Bell. I would stay clear of Chipotle.
